For the FALL 2025 semester, the COVID-19 vaccine is no longer required for students. Students will still be required to obtain the other immunizations and TB test in order to participate in the clinical ride alongs to receive a certificate of completion.
Those students that are still interested in the COVID-19 vaccine, can use the following link:
Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR) - 2 doses OR a Positive Blood Titer.
Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (TdaP) - Must be within the past 10 years.
Hepatitis B - 3 doses OR a Positive Blood Titer.
Varicella (Chickenpox) - 2 doses OR a Positive Blood Titer. No longer accepting history of previous illness.
Negative TB Test- Mustbe within 4 months prior to course start. If Positive, must show proof of a negative Chest X-Ray.
QuantiFERON-TB Blood tests will also be accepted, for students that are unable to have the normal skin test.
Influenza- Must be from current season.
Proof of all immunizations will be uploaded into the Canvas portal when the class begins. If you have any questions please contact your instructor or you may contact EMT faculty.
Note: As a Healthcare Provider, we are required to obtain numerous vaccines and tests to not only maintain our safety, but also the safety of the community and our patients. Some patients that we come across have compromised immune systems, extensive medical conditions that can be complicated if they acquire diseases that could have been prevented.
Recommended Immunizations
COVID-19 Vaccine- It is recommended (But NOT mandatory..) that all students be fully vaccinated.
